A Bubble of Privilege, Not a Real Workplace - Anonymous employee Etsy Employee Review

People literally float through the day — coffee, chats, dog walks, a fun meeting... oh, it’s time for lunch, another coffee, a little work, then home. Too many have coasted for years, blocking out reality while congratulating themselves for “saving the world.” The culture rewards the “good students”. Immature work culture. It’s a very privileged crowd that preaches openness while blocking outsiders, confusing pretty mood boards with strategy. DEI is talk, not reality.
